Advances in optical microscopy are continually enhancing imaging performance and versatility. Examples include increasing depth penetration in scattering media, improving resolution beyond the diffraction limit, increasing speed, enhancing sensitivity and/or specificity, developing novel contrast mechanisms, addressing challenges related to intravital imaging, and more.

3D scanning electron microscopy has become an important tool to answer scientific questions in life science. The aim of the course is to provide hands-on experience concerning sample preparation for the main serial imaging techniques in scanning electron microscopy (SEM): microtome-based serial block-face SEM, focused ion beam SEM and array tomography. Chemical fixation (bench processing and microwave-assisted processing) as well as high-pressure freezing and freeze substitution for scanning electron microscopy will be performed. The combination of theoretical and practical sessions will give the participants the possibility to assess the potentials of each sample preparation technique and decide which are most suitable for their own scientific project and research question. The course will also cover data processing and analysis, as these tools are essential to all 3D electron microscopy techniques.

QEM2021 is the 5th edition of the very successful QEM (Quantative Electron Microscopy) school. It is a 2 weeks school centered around advanced electron microscopy techniques. This edition will be held in Port-Bacarès in the south of France at 350 meter from the Mediterranean Sea from the 9th to the 21st of May 2021. Participants will learn from renowned experts about for example quantitative crystallography, tomography, electron energy-loss spectroscopy and electron holography. They will put in practice these lectures in form of practical exercises also lead by renowned scientists. The participants will also be able to test a JEOL F2 TEM install for the all duration of the school on their own samples. This school is an opportunity for PhD students and post-docs to develop their skills in transmission electron microscopy and learn how to get the best of it.

Slovene Society for Microscopy

The main goal of the symposium is to bring together the emerging young researchers and the experts applying different microscopic techniques in the fields of life sciences, material science and industry. Beside the presentation of the latest achievements and trends in microscopy, the symposium also provides an opportunity for introduction of research groups and their microscopic methodologies on all levels of resolution, with the aim of comprehensive overview of available microscopic techniques in Slovenia. In other words: which microscopic methods in the life-, material- and industrial sectors are available in Slovenia, on which institution and with what equipment, in order to enhance the exchange of knowledge between various branches of microscopy and better exploitation of the microscopic knowledge and equipment in Slovenia.

Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

The Asia-Pacific Conference on Near-field Optics (APNFO) has provided an opportunity for leading scientists and young researchers in the field of nano-optics to discuss new ideas and approaches in cutting-edge research, and to network with each other. Rapid progress in nanoscience and nanotechnology has made near-field optics more attractive and applicable to various research fields on condensed matter physics including chemistry and biology. The unique characteristics of light-matter interactions on the nanoscale have provided a tool for microscopic study to pursue basic science interests, including the quantum mechanical nature of light and electrons. It has also brought a discipline to address engineering and manufacturing challenges for making devices smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient, and more importantly, for promoting conceptually new device paradigms. In the coming phase, the near-field nano-optics is expected to be applied not only to biosensors and nanofabrication technology, but also to light-energy conversions and storages such as solar cells and artificial photosynthesis. At APNFO-13, we organize a special session entitled "Hot carrier sciences and its application to light-energy conversions" to allow participants to share their experiences, problems, and concerns, and to discuss promising future directions.

The conference at mmc2021 will consist of six parallel streams comprising 36 conference and EMAG sessions, with excellent speakers and vibrant supporting poster sessions. Organised by the Institute of Physics's Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group (EMAG), the 2021 EMAG Conference will be part of mmc2021.

Frontiers of Aberration-corrected Electron Microscopy is a series of biennial conferences focusing on fundamental electron optics and it's applications to advanced transmission electron microscopy techniques being applied to the study of solid state research phenomena and the life sciences. The conference series primarily arose to satisfy the requirements of the electron microscopy community working on solid state problems at the atomic scale, which grew explosively in the early 2000's with the introduction of aberration corrector units in commercial instruments and has expanded since to researchers working with analytical periphery, at low acceleration voltages or making use of various in-situ techniques.
